Your example said

12 plus 4

15 plus 1

I’d expect it to be more like

12 plus 4

16 plus 3

20 plus 2

24 plus 1

A 20% marginal tax rate.

The hour thing seems massively corruptible




The wage subsidy would only close the gap between the wage and 16. If you made 16, there would be no subsidy.


Earn 16 get no subsidy

Earn 15 get 1 subsidy

Earn 12 get 4 subsidy

What’s the difference to the worker?

Fork 4/3rds harder to earn 16 not 12, see no gain. Equivelent of 100% marginal tax.
